Re the penalties, genuine question…
Would you feel confident with our £8m number 9 taking a penalty?
Re the penalties, genuine question…So what? He scored 2 v Wolves, 1 against Man U and Leeds.
This scored in ‘x’ league games stat is a distortion of stats. Wright only scored in 12 league games and he’s a penalty taker, in fact, open goals only, they scored in the exact same amount of games.
To compare, I’m going to deliberately distort Gyokeres’ record in 22/23 using your methodology. Vik played 50 games for us in 22/23 and he scored 22 goals over 19 matches. Which means he didn’t score in 62% of his appearances. Only 4 (18%) of his goals were scored against a team placed higher than us in the table (Sheff U, Millwall, Watford and Sunderland).
With some effort, you can distort stats to fit a narrative.
Why don’t you offer a genuine counter argument to the facts that I have stated…strange hill

Bit before my time tbf. But a quick internet search will tell you he had a degenerative bone disease while with us and is now disabled.Simms is never in a world where Keith O'Neill exists going to be our worst "pound for pound" signing
Probably paid more than that now as the whole additional fees will not be dependant on promotion. Point still stands.He was £3.5m
You cannot compare Wright and Simms. When Wright is not scoring, he’s creating. Always a threat. Simms on the other hand offers us absolutely nothing.
Can’t run in behind, can’t hold the ball up, doesn’t win many headers. I am astonished at the amount of people that are happy with the return we are getting from him.
That means spending a million 23 years ago on him was even worse.Bit before my time tbf. But a quick internet search will tell you he had a degenerative bone disease while with us and is now disabled.
If, and I hope it doesn’t, something similar happens to Simms, I will quite rightly apologise.
It’s not really a relevant question because not all strikers like taking penalties. He scores enough open play goals that I’m happy with.Re the penalties, genuine question…

2 goals in 23 games this season, for the fee paid, you are happy with that?It’s not really a relevant question because not all strikers like taking penalties. He scores enough open play goals that I’m happy with.
He developed a bone disease while with us, hardly going to criticise him. Nothing wrong with Simms, he’s just shite.That means spending a million 23 years ago on him was even worse.
You are talking shite but it's your right to so crack on
Probably paid more than that now as the whole additional fees will not be dependant on promotion. Point still stands.
The point still stands, you wouldn’t fancy him.Nowhere near 8m though so no point quoting that figure (it’s probably no more than half that)
yep, you are still talking shiteHe developed a bone disease while with us, hardly going to criticise him. Nothing wrong with Simms, he’s just shite.
Ironic, you of all people, telling someone they’re talking shite.
I’d actually want him to start taking penalties at least until Wright is out to build some confidence. Unless there’s footage out there of the shittest penThe point still stands, you wouldn’t fancy him.
he has just started following us on Instagram though…It’s a Huddersfield account that’s made it up to troll
Been following since Rudoni joined us I think?he has just started following us on Instagram though…
Absolute clown.yep, you are still talking shite
The reason O'Neill was shite for us is not important, he was a far worse "pound for pound" signing
Anyway crack on
That’s fair enough. Personally, wouldn’t want him anywhere near it.I’d actually want him to start taking penalties at least until Wright is out to build some confidence. Unless there’s footage out there of the shittest pen
Fair enough, I think we can both agree Simms is struggling this year, just disagree on the cause and how to go about itThat’s fair enough. Personally, wouldn’t want him anywhere near it.
Been following us for ages as he’s mates with rudonihe has just started following us on Instagram though…
You’re completely missing the point, I wouldn’t even compare the two.So is the fella who had a bone disorder a better signing than someone who scored 19 goals last season?
No, end of really
On what basis?Matt Crooks going hull, would have been a good signing for us in midfield…..
the point is it doesn't matter why they were bad, just that they were badYou’re completely missing the point, I wouldn’t even compare the two.
You are literally using someone that is disabled as an argument in your defence of Simms. Does that not say it all?
really, nahMatt Crooks going hull, would have been a good signing for us in midfield…..
How can I be wrong? I have stated an opinion based on facts. All you’ve done is shout about how one player 23 years ago may be a worst pound for pound signing. I never said there weren’t others by the way, just said Simms was up there.the point is it doesn't matter why they were bad, just that they were bad
the argument isn't who is the worst non disabled player, it was the wort pound for pound player and we spent what was a small fortune then on some whop turned out could hardly walk thus he was a worse signing.
Anyway, you crack on being wrong
How many minutes has he played? He’s started 10 games and no consecutive starts since September.2 goals in 23 games this season, for the fee paid, you are happy with that?
2 goals in 10 starts is hardly a good return though. There’s a reason he hasn’t had consecutive starts and he is clearly behind Bassette in the managers eyes.How many minutes has he played? He’s started 10 games and no consecutive starts since September.
We’re not getting anything out of any of our strikers because let’s not forget that BTA and Bassette only cost £1m less than Simms. Simms cost £3.5m upfront with incentives taking it to £8m which haven’t been fulfilled yet.
All of our strikers can’t be useless.
mate it was a Huddersfield fan trolling off the back of some random article of someone saying we ‘should’ sign himJust seen another Michal Helik Joining this week post. Either there’s something in it or I’m going insane
Yeah but now I’ve got more covs fan saying it’s sortedmate it was a Huddersfield fan trolling off the back of some random article of someone saying we ‘should’ sign him
Isn’t happening mate lol, no chanceYeah but now I’ve got more covs fan saying it’s sorted. Losing my mind with em
